Department of Environmental Management, Makerere University

MUIENR was established in 1988 in response to increasing concern by the government of Uganda and Makerere University about the Environmental degradation in Uganda with a mandate to promote the development of knowledge, skills and positive attitudes for sustainable management of the environment and natural resources through training and research. The institute started with a two-year masters programme in Environment and Natural Resources management and this has been supplemented by an active PhD programme and post-graduate Diploma over the last fifteen years. Due to persistent appeals from Makerere University and the general Ugandan community, the institute started an undergraduate programme; Bachelor of Environmental Science in 2003 and the pioneers of this programme graduated in February 2007. MUIENR has over the years been committed to maintaining and improving quality of its graduates.
